Embodiment Construction

[0049] in figure 1 In, a top view of the roof panel 102 is shown. In the method herein, the initial step is to inspect and prepare the roof slab 102. In one embodiment, the roof slab 102 has a gutter 104, an eave 114, a gable / cantilever 116, and a ridge 118. In this exemplary roof panel 102 inspection step, the existing roof covering (sheathing) is inspected for structural integrity. The roof panel 102 should preferably be plywood with a minimum of 15 / 32 inches, or oriented fiberboard (OSB) approved by law. All the nails of the roof slab 102 should be advanced to be flush with the roof slab 102. The roof slab 102 should be inspected for protrusions that may damage the felt backing 110 (see image 3 ).

[0050] figure 2 It is a top view of the roof slab 102 illustrating the preparation of the gutter 104 and the installation of the edge 108 of the drip channel. In this step of the method herein, the user installs the peel and stick film 106 in the gutter 104 while overlapping ...

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with the application number 200710090141.7 and the invention title "Roofing System and Method" filed on April 16, 2007. Technical field [0002] The applicant's invention relates to roofing for buildings, and more specifically, to slate roofing systems and installation methods. Background technique [0003] Slate roofs are popular with the public due to their beautiful and durable quality. Slate is one of the most exquisite roofing materials available and has several advantages over asphalt shingle roofs. For example, slate roofs are fireproof, resistant to hail damage, and usually have a life span of 100 years or more. However, the slate is a rigid natural stone product, which unfortunately can be damaged by stress. Stress can be introduced into the slab in several ways, but the most common cause of stress to the slab is the nails used to attach the slab to the roof deck. For installation w...
